Aquageek on the forum is a masters coach in Charlotte. If you don&#39;t swim with the SwimMac masters, you might consider joining them. They do a variety of practices than train for all events throughout the week. If you want to swim on your own, you won&#39;t be able to train for all four events in a single practice effectively. You will need to plan out what you want to achieve each week. I would recommended looking up PWB&#39;s Animal Lane practices, if you swim on your own. Patrick does a great job of mixing IM work and middle distance work for people swimming on their own.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
